<p>The James A. Beattie House, also known as the Beattie Miles House, is a Queen Anne style home built in the Bethany Heights neighborhood of Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1892. The James A. Beattie House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture as well as its historical connection with the settlement of the region.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The James A. Beattie House is the last remaining building associated with Cotner College and the original settlement of Bethany Heights. Cotner College, originally called Nebraska Christian University, was founded in 1889 by the Nebraska Christian Missionary Alliance on 300 acres of donated land. James A. Beattie, president of the Nebraska Christian Education Board, purchased three lots across the street from the college in 1889. However, Beattie did not build his house--located on the center lot, directly across from the north entrance of the main building of Cotner College--until 1892 when he was named president of the college.</p><br>
<p>In 1901, Beattie sold the home to Samuel A. Miles, a Nebraska pioneer. Samuel Miles&#39; thirteen-year-old son, Clarence G. Miles, grew up in the home and later attended Cotner College. Clarence went on to study at Harvard Law School before being elected Mayor of Lincoln in 1947. Bethany voted to be annexed by the city of Lincoln in 1922, Cotner College closed its Bethany location in 1933, and the Miles family sold the Beattie House in 1945. After annexation and the closure of the college, most of the original buildings of the Bethany area were lost.</p><br>

<p>The Burckhardt House is a -story Prairie Box style home built in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1903. The Burckhardt House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural features and significance as the home of Reverend Oliver J. Burckhardt and Anna Jones Burckhardt.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Burckhardt House is unique in Lincoln architecture because of its Prairie Box/American Foursquare style. The house follows a simple, rectangular plan, and features a cross gabled roof with return box eaves on the south facing front gable, a shed roofed dormer on the west side, and a hip roof porch on the front facade. Though not originally present, the exterior asphalt faux-brick siding was added to the home by the Burckhardts in 1939 and thus contributes to the building&#39;s historicity. A full-width porch--featuring neoclassical wooden columns on concrete block supports and a wooden balustrade with simple square-section balusters--dominates the south facade of the home where the main entrance is found. The house also features a small, second-story wooden balcony on the east facade and double-hung windows with decorative muntins in the upper sash.</p><br>
<h2>The Burckhardts</h2><br>
<p>Reverend Oliver J. Burckhardt, born in Howard County, Missouri in 1868, was a local leader for the African American community in Lincoln. Rev. Burckhardt graduated from Lincoln Institute in Jefferson City, Missouri, a college founded by African American Civil War veterans, before moving to Lincoln in 1890. In 1898, Rev. Burckhardt married Anna Jones (b. 1868, Burlington, Iowa).</p><br>
<p>The Burckhardts became influential leaders in Lincoln both within the African American community and the city as a whole. Oliver served as a minister and missionary for the African Methodist Church. He is credited with helping to settle over two hundred African Americans in the Brownlee area of Cherry County, Nebraska between 1910 and 1912 as well as establishing St. James church in the town.</p><br>
<p>Rev. Burckhardt was also a key figure in the creation of the Lincoln branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1918. Burckhardt recruited prominent local individuals, including the lieutenant governor and governor of Nebraska, to join the NAACP. Burckhardt, along with J.E. Jeltz and William Woods, successfully prevented The Birth of a Nation from being shown in Lincoln, based on the legal argument that the film was intended to "inflame public opinion against blacks" despite African American contributions to the war effort.</p><br>
<p>Burckhardt was instrumental in the formation of the Christian Alliance and the Lincoln Urban League in 1932, and was frequently consulted by local government officials for advice on issues regarding the African American community in Lincoln. Burckhardt also served as the Associate Chaplain at the State Penitentiary for twenty years before moving to Omaha following his wife&#39;s death in 1945 to become the pastor of the Church of Christ Holiness until his death in 1951.</p><br>
<p>Anna Burckhardt was a self-taught artist of national acclaim, an almost impossible feat for an African American woman in her time. Anna is best known for her oil paintings and china paintings, receiving a bronze medal for her china painting at the 1907 Jamestown Virginia Tercentennial Exposition. Anna was well-loved in Lincoln, offering private art lessons to children of all races for over 40 years. Anna was also pioneering as one of very few commissioned artists of color, creating works for the People&#39;s City Mission--a local homeless advocacy center and shelter--and was even hired by the State of Nebraska to restore several paintings in the Nebraska State Capitol.</p><br>

<p>The Sinclair Service Station in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at 3501 E. 11th St., was built in 1929. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The station is located on the original USA Route 66 (11th St.). Its NRHP nomination asserts it "is an excellent example of a Spanish Eclectic service station. The station consists of three parts; the office, the covered gas pump area, and an attached double-bay service garage. A stucco exterior, a triangular parapet, and the tile, visor roof are all characteristics commonly associated with the architectural style."</p><br>
<p>Its listing was consistent with a study of historic resources on Route 66 in Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>Holy Family Church is a historic former Roman Catholic church in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a contributing property in the Lawrenceville Historic District. The church was built in 1939–40 and was designed in the Romanesque Revival architectural style with modernist design principles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holy Family Parish was organized in 1902 as a predominantly Polish congregation. A combination church and school was completed in 1904. When Reverend Ladislaus Sliwinski took over in 1925, the parish was over $100,000 in debt and the building was in poor condition. Revered Sliwinski cleared the debt in three years but quickly realized that the current facilities were inadequate for the size of the parish. The parish decided to develop plans to construct a new church. The parishioners split into two groups, one who wanted to build the new church on a lot across from the existing church at 41st and Foster Streets to save cost, and the other wanted to locate the church above Butler Street. They believed that above Butler Street was more desirable as it was in a residential area, it was closer to the parishioner&#39;s homes, and areas below Butler Street were being zoned as an industrial area. For these reasons the church decided on a location above Butler Street.</p><br>
<p>They purchased several properties between 1929 and 1930, despite the turmoil of the Great Depression, and retained Antoni A. Pyzdrowski as chief architect and engineer. Bishop Boyle granted the parish permission to build their new church in 1938, despite the parish incurring a serious debt. The parish began ground breaking for the new church on October 8, 1939, with the Consulate of the Republic of Poland addressing the gathering. The cornerstone was laid and Bishop Hugh C. Boyle blessed the church in January 1940, and the ceremonies were concluded with a singing of “Boze Cos Polski” (God Bless Poland). Upon completion in 1940 the Holy Family Church was the largest religious structure in Lawrenceville&#39;s ninth ward, and due to the fact that the congregation consisted largely of Polish immigrants and their descendants, it was dubbed “the Polish Cathedral”. The original church building remained in use as the parish school until 1964 and still exists, in modified form, as a residential building.</p><br>
<p>By 1948 the debt on the new church was cleared, and the inside was painted by Scatena Studio. With the changes established during Vatican II, the inside of the church was changed with the altars removed, the sanctuary area expanded, and pews arranged in a semi-circular fashion. More artwork was added from 1973 to 1985 and a mural depicting three historical epics was added. In 1993 Bishop Donald Wuerl reorganized and consolidated the parishes in Pittsburgh. This led to the end of Holy Family as a parish as it was merged into Our Lady of the Angels parish. The church continued to be used as a site of worship until 2008 when it was discontinued. The church was nominated in June 2018 to become a City Historic Landmark by Preservation Pittsburgh. As of 2021, the church was planned to be converted into 25 residential units. The exterior would be kept mostly intact with the addition of some windows and balconies.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church was designed by Polish architect Antoni A. Pyzdrowski. The Holy Family Church stands out amongst his works by being one of the few works he did in the ecclesiastical architectural style. The building is specifically representative of the late Romanesque Revival style, a subset of the eclectic period. This period was notable for incorporating twentieth century design principles while sampling from periods of the past. The Holy Family Church&#39;s historical basis comes from the German Rundbogenstil style. The church is a rare example of pre-World War II architecture with the fusing of modern design principles and historical sampling.</p><br>
<p>The Randall Tire Company, at 237 S. Wilson St. in Vinita, Oklahoma, was built in 1931. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>

<p>The Central School is a school building located at 325 West Grand River Avenue in East Lansing, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>For years after the Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) was founded in 1855, children in the area were tutored at home or in some cases were sent to schools in nearby Lansing. However, at the end of the nineteenth century, the college population began growing and a new school district encompassing the college and surrounding residential areas was established in 1900. The first school building was constructed in late 1901, located on the spot of the present building. Due to rising enrollment, the school was enlarged in 1905 and 1909.</p><br>
<p>However, in 1916, a disastrous fire completely destroyed the school. The school board contracted Lansing architect Edwyn Bowd to design a new fireproof school, and the building was constructed the following year. It was the only school building in East Lansing until 1922, and served high school students until a separate high school was built in 1927. A library addition was constructed in 1937, and four workrooms were added in 1952. It continued to be used as an elementary school by the district until 1984, when it was closed due to declining enrollment. The district sold the school to private developers. and now houses the University&#39;s Child Development Laboratories.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

The center bay has a recessed entrance with paired doors and a transom under a segmental arch. Brick Tuscan pilasters flank the doors. The windows are set in groupings of three double hung multi-light sash-type units, separated by wooden mullions. An iron cornice circles the building save for the center of the front facade.</p><br>
<p>The Emery Houses are two duplexes located at 320–322 and 326–328 West Ottawa Street in Lansing, Michigan, United States. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The structure at 320–322 West Ottawa is significant due to its association with Populist activist Sarah E. Van De Vort Emery, a well-known public speaker and writer of the 1880s and 1890s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land on which these houses sit was purchased by Sarah Emery and her son Archibald in 1885. The two houses were likely built on the lots in 1888 and 1889. Archibald Emery lived in one of the units (328) from 1888 to 1894, and in 1902 sold the entire structure to W.H. Bosley. Sarah Emery and her husband Wesley lived in another unit (320) from about 1889 to about 1891. In 1891, one half of the duplex was sold, with the Emerys retaining the other half. Sarah Emery died in 1895, and her estate sold the remaining house to Mrs. Cora Murray in 1900. In the subsequent years, the houses were used for different things, including division into apartments and offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

<p>The Foyil Filling Station, in Foyil, Oklahoma, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In April 1923 Thomas B. Millard bought lot 12 of block 12 in Foyil, Oklahoma where he would build the Foyil Filling Station before selling the property to his brother William J. Millard and moving to Texas in October 1926. William J. Millard sold the property to George W. Vincent and his wife Violet in October 1931. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent sold the property to Joseph Floyd Shaffer in June 1937 but he had already been operating the station as early as 1932. Floyd Shaffer, who was the brother-in-law to both Tom and William Millard and the cousin of George Vincent ran the station for the next 33 years until it ceased operating in the mid-1960s.</p><br>
<p>Floyd was a World War One combat veteran serving with the 90th Division Machine Gun Company, 358th USA Infantry. He was involved in several major battles after being sent to France and had war memorabilia prominently displayed on the walls of the station. He successfully ran the station at a time when Foyil had five other filling stations operating simultaneously. The other stations eventually closed their doors and were demolished leaving only the Foyil Filling Station standing. However, it too closed after hanging on for several years after Route 66 was relocated a short distance to the west, in 1962. The station began and ended as a Texaco Filling Station making it one of the oldest Texaco stations still standing on Route 66.</p><br>
<p>Foyil native Andrew Hartley Payne ran past the Filling Station on his way to winning the Great Transcontinental Footrace of 1928. Singer/Actor Gene Autry was well acquainted with it from rooming at a boarding house across the street while working as a relief telegraph operator for the Frisco Railroad.

<p>Bethel–Christian Avenue–Laurel Hill Historical District is a Setauket, Long Island, New York neighborhood that was nominated for preservation as an endangered historic site in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Bethel–Christian Avenue–Laurel Hill District on Long Island&#39;s north shore has roots back to the 1600s, when displaced African-American slaves and Native Americans from the Setalcott tribe settled in the area.</p><br>
<p>The historical district includes Bethel AME Church and the Laurel Hill Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>Colonists from New England purchased land in 1655 from the Setalcott Indians and began peaceably living there at what was then a tract of land extending from Stony Brook to and including Port Jefferson.</p><br>
<p>During the Revolutionary War Setauket Harbor was across Long Island Sound from Fairfield, Connecticut. The British had consolidated their hold on New York City and Long Island during the winter months of early 1777, while the Continental Army established a land blockade around the city in New Jersey, southern New York, and southwestern Connecticut. On the night of August 21, Colonel Samuel Blachley Webb and his regiment set out across Long Island Sound in whaleboats, taking a few small brass cannons. Early the next morning they landed at Crane&#39;s Neck (in present-day Old Field, just west of Setauket), and marched to Setauket. The resulting battle ended when the Minutemen could not breach the breastworks around the Presbyterian meeting house and they retreated across the sound with a few dozen trophy horses and some quilts.</p><br>
<p>An 1853 document states that in the year 1815, slave owners Isaac Satterly and Benjamin F. Thompson took legal action to designate land along Christian Avenue, in Setauket, as a cemetery for people of color. This site is still known as Laurel Hill Cemetery, which has been under the trusteeship of Bethel AME Church since 1871.</p><br>
<p>In 1848 A tract of land was deeded to the Bethel AME, for the site of the original church, which was destroyed by fire in 1871. Old Bethel Cemetery on Christian Avenue in Stony Brook was the location of the first Bethel AME Church in the area. This deed provided 1/8th acre of land to the church board for a church. A line of stones lying on the ground behind the front of a line of gravestones marks the building&#39;s original foundation. The church moved to the current location in 1871 and the new church was built in 1874. It was also in 1871 that the trustees took control of the Laurel Hill Cemetery. The new church was destroyed by fire in 1909 but was quickly rebuilt.</p><br>
<h2>Setalcott Indians</h2><br>
<p>Preservations acknowledged the area is one of the last remaining intact communities that represents the African-American and Native American population on Long Island. MAP – BCALH</p><br>
<p>The indigenous Setalcott Native American tribe were in Setalket when Europeans first landed. The sachems Warawakmy and Mahue gave permission for land use to the whites, who subsequently brought African slaves to the Town of Brookhaven about the year 1670. Subsequent generations of Setalcotts and Africans intermarried, the Harts and the Sells, Eato, Lewis, Edwards, Phillips, Scott, Green, Seaman, Young, and Tobias families forming a blend of natives and blacks. Most found work as servants and laborers, the population was organized, economically stable, and has persisted into the present. They were prohibited at the time from living elsewhere in the district and the pastoral guidance of the church created a community separate from the whites.</p><br>
<p>During the period from 1867 to 1960 there were three eras to the community which was then known as Chicken Hill, a one square mile patch of Christian Ave with the A.M.E. Church as the hub. At one point the multi-ethnic blend of Native Americans, African-Americans, Eastern and Western European immigrants made it one of the most diverse communities on Long Island. The presence of the Piano factory which later became the rubber factory led to the employment of the largest labor force in Suffolk county at Brookhaven Rubber Company, consisting mainly of Irish and other European immigrant transplants from the lower east side.</p><br>
<p>Developments include the Christian Avenue School – Original buildings dating back from earlier part of the century which were used for Kindergarten and 1st grade before closing in late 1970s. They were demolished and redeveloped as residential homes in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The BCALH historic district stood out from other sites in Long Island because it recognized both the historic and the cultural significance of the blended Native and African American community. The district includes the Laurel Hill cemetery, the church, an American Legion building and 30 homes.</p><br>
<p>The Setalcott tribe is not recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) due to the size of the remaining tribe members and their self-identification.</p><br>
<h2>Eato house</h2><br>
<p>The home of one of Bethel AME Church&#39;s first pastors has been recently added to the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities List of Endangered Historic Places. Richard Hawkins, a local resident had owned the property, He was known as a broker for African-American buyers who during the Jim Crow era could not get a loan from traditional sources.</p><br>
<p>The Rev David Eatos House is located in BCALHs District and is currently owned by the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and was proposed to be restored by the society. Eato, one of the churchs first pastors, and his wife Mary Baker, a freed slave from the south lived there until the 1930s. Bethel AME historian, Carlton "Hub" Edwards, said when Mary moved to the North after being freed from slavery she settled in Port Washington where she was an organist at a church. It was there that she met Eato and, after marrying, the couple moved to Setauket and the reverend became one of the first ministers of Setaukets Bethel AME in the early 1900s. Mary took on the role of superintendent of the Sunday school and held the position until the late 1930s.</p><br>

<p>The Somerville Barn, also known as the Caltrider Barn, is part of a farmstead located at 1050 North College Road in Alaiedon Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Michigan in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William and Jane Somerville emigrated from Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1849, following Jane&#39;s brother John, and settled in Delhi Township. In 1854, they established a farm across what is now College Road from this barn, eventually building a house located about a quarter-mile north of the location of this barn. In 1863, the Somervilles purchased the land that this barn stands on, across College Road from their farmstead. A few years later, Somerville built a barn across from his house on the newly acquired property.</p><br>
<p>In 1875, William Somerville conveyed his son James fifty acres of his property, including the present site of Somerville barn. James married Agnes Fellows in 1878, and the couple settled on their homestead. They built a (now much altered) house on the property. In 1881, James Somerville constructed a barn on his property. In 1887, he purchased additional acreage from his father, including the barn, and moved the barn to his farmstead, attaching it to the 1881 barn. Around 1900, he expanded the barn by adding an ell to one end.</p><br>
<p>James and Agnes Sommerville&#39;s son John married Ida Warren Palen in 1907; the couple had a son, Palen James Somerville, in 1912. However, John Somerville died in 1919; Ida remarried and lived with James Somerville until his death in 1930. Palen Somerville inherited the farm, but had moved to the family cottage, and rented the farmstead out. In 1932, he married Millie Scott, and in 1938 they returned to the Somreville farm. They added a concrete silo to the barn, and made other repairs and improvements to the farm and barn in the next decade. By 1959, Palen and Mille retired from farming and began renting out the farm acreage. Their daughter, JoAnn, and her husband, Robert Earl Caltrider operated a sheep breeding and shearing operation in the barn until 1972. Since that time, the barn has been used primarily for storage.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Somerville Bam is an L-shaped wood-frame raised barn building. It is constructed from two English barns attached end-to-end, forming a structure ninety feet long. The two barns are made of hewn timber frames, with some logs still having bark on. The basement level is mostly concrete block, which is fully above ground level on three sides. The barn is part of a farmstead also contains a house.</p><br>
<p>The westerly section of the barn measures about forty-six feet in length by about thirty-four feet in width. The easterly section is about forty-four feet in length and thirty-two and one-half in width. The front facades are set to align. The barn also has a rear ell, measuring about forty-four feet in width and about twenty-seven feet in depth, and a small projecting silo room and round concrete stave silo.</p><br>

<p>The Best Building is a historic building located in downtown Rock Island, Illinois, United States. It was built by Louis Best, an industrialist and real estate magnate from Davenport, Iowa in 1908. It was designed by the prominent Davenport architectural firm of Clausen & Clausen in the Renaissance Revival style. The six-story structure is one of the first buildings in the city to be constructed with reinforced concrete. It also had an early form of air-conditioning that utilized a 10-ton ice machine in the basement. The building initially housed the Young & McCombs Department Store, of which Best served as a financier. It is thought that this was the first store outside of Chicago that had a pneumatic tube system for cash transactions. After Young & McCombs the building housed the Brady-Waxenberg Department Store followed by Montgomery Ward. It has subsequently been used as an office building.</p><br>
<p>In 1992 New York artist Richard Haas painted the north elevation of the building with a 60 ft tall trompe-l&#39;œil memorial sculpture of local Sauk warrior Black Hawk. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. It was included as a contributing property in the Downtown Rock Island Historic District in 2020.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Mary B. Moody House, also known as Chetstone, is a historic house at 154 East Grand Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut. Built in 1875, it is one of the city&#39;s finest examples of residential Carpenter Gothic architecture, and was home to Dr. Mary Blair Moody, one of the first female physicians to practice in the city. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Dr. Mary B. Moody House is located in New Haven&#39;s eastern Fair Haven Heights neighborhood, on the north side of East Grand Avenue near the top of the eponymous high ground. The house is set on less than one acre of land, fringed at the street by a low stone retaining wall with posts at the entrances. The house is a visually rich wood-frame structure, with the irregular massing typical of the Queen Anne period. Dominant features of the -story structure are a three-story tower with a flared pyramidal roof, and a porch that extends across most of the front and one side. Gables are adorned with Stick style elements, and some windows have shallow pointed tops.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1875, and was the home of Lucius and Dr. Mary Blair Moody from the 1880s until the early 20th century. Lucius Moody was an insurance executive, and Mary Moody was the first female to attend the University of Buffalo (now SUNY Buffalo) Medical School, graduating in 1876. Contrary to typical Victorian expectations, she then engaged in a career as a physician, while also raising a family. She was one of the first female physicians in New Haven.</p><br>
<p>The house suffered some wind damage in Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and a Federal disaster relief grant of $150,000 was used to fix the roof and gutters.</p><br>
<p>The Morris Cove Historic District encompasses a former summer resort area in eastern New Haven, Connecticut. Bounded in the north by Myron Street, the south by Morris Causeway and Lighthouse Road, and on the east by the East Haven town line, the area was developed as a coastal summer community before being transformed into a streetcar suburb in the second quarter of the 20th century. It contains a high concentration of quality residential architecture from the first half of the century, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Morris Cove was a rural agricultural area of East Haven until after the American Civil War, at which time local landowners began to open their homes and build small hotels to serve tourists. One of the oldest such surviving houses now stands at 265 Townsend Avenue; built in the 1870s, it was then known as the Pioneer Guest House. In 1881, Morris Cove and adjacent areas were transferred from East Haven to New Haven, but retained a measure of civic autonomy. By the early 1900s there were still relatively few year-round residents, but there was a school and a fire station, and the community maintained its own police force. The transition to a year-round community began in the early 1900s, when a trolley line was run down Townsend Avenue. The area was developed more fully as a residential area, with a small commercial hub near the southern end of the cove.</p><br>
<p>The historic district consists of a densely built grid of street oriented toward the cove, which forms its western boundary. Between Townsend Avenue and the cove in the northern half of the district lies Pardee Seawall Park, a city park that extends northward to Fort Nathan Hale. Most of the houses in the district are of wood frame construction, and are in styles popular in the early 20th century: Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Bungalow, and Dutch Colonial. Interspersed are a number of examples of the older Italianate, Queen Anne, and Shingle styles from the last three decades of the 19th century. There are 341 historically significant buildings in the 61 acre district.</p><br>
<p>The Gary J. and Matilda Vermeer Farmstead is a historic building located east of Pella, Iowa, United States, in Mahaska County. Gerrit "Gary" Vermeer was born on a farm outside of Pella on September 29, 1918, and was educated in the local schools. He married Matilda Van Gorp at her parents’ farm on February 14, 1941. They farmed a 120 acre farm that had been given to them by his parents. They built this modest house on that farm in 1953 and lived here the rest of their married life. Gary invented a wagon hoist that made it easier to unload corn. It became so popular that he and his cousin, Ralph Vermeer, started the Vermeer Company to manufacture the device as well as other agricultural implements. In 1971 Gary developed the Vermeer round hay baler, "an invention that revolutionized agriculture." They are buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Pella. The farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Arizona Hotel is a historic two-story building in Tucson, Arizona. It was built in 1917 for Luke G. Radulovich, an investor. Wells Fargo used to have a branch on the first floor.</p><br>
<p>The facade was designed by architect Henry O. Jaastad in the Classical Revival style in 1918, and he redesigned it in 1933. The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 12, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The 1901 McGee Street Automotive Service Building, located at 1901 McGee St. in Kansas City, Missouri, was built in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story two part commercial block building, 99x111 ft in plan, built with hollow tile walls by builder/architect C.C. Smith. The building " deftly illustrates the specialized adaptation of a typical main street commercial building for automobile sales and service functions. As the popularity of automobiles soared, real estate investors constructed this building near the heart of Kansas City’s nascent Automobile Row. By blending a traditional commercial façade with physical elements that addressed the specific needs of automobile sales and service, the building met the needs of tenants and consumers. Distinctive features include large storefront windows on the first story, which gave passersby a clear view of the vehicles for sale inside; large expanses of over-sized windows on the second story and skylights in the roof, which provided ample light and ventilation to work areas on the second floor; and an oversized freight elevator capable of transporting vehicles, as well as auto parts, from the back alley to the first floor or the second floor. Most notable, though, is the building’s highly unique structural system, which supplements a typical early-twentieth century masonry and wood structure with massive steel I-beams that span the ceiling on the first floor and distinctive turnbuckle trusses that hang from the ceiling on the second floor. These structural enhancements responded to the very heavy loads the building had to support to serve its intended function. The automotive service building at 1901 McGee Street clearly embodies this type and period of commercial design and is characteristic example of the automotive service buildings that survive from the heyday of Kansas City’s automobile row. The period of significance, 1912 – 1941, reflects the dates of construction and a significant renovation."</p><br>
<p>The Jonathan Dickerman II House is a historic house museum at 105 Mt. Carmel Avenue in Hamden, Connecticut. Built about 1795 by the grandson of an early settler of the area, it is a well-preserved and unusual example of late Georgian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is now owned and operated by the Hamden Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jonathan Dickerman II House is located in northern Hamden, oriented facing west on the south side of Mt. Carmel Avenue just west of the Quinnipiac College campus. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Unusual for a two-story house of this period, the front roof face extends to just above the first floor, and flares outward at the eave. The main facade is five bays wide, with windows arranged symmetrically around the center entrance. The entrance is also unusual for the period, with a double-leaf paneled door with glazed top panels. The interior follows a fairly typical center chimney plan, although it lacks the winding stair typically found in the entry vestibule. It retains many original period finishes, and has been fitted with displays of period furnishings.</p><br>
<p>Jonathan Dickerman I was one of the first people to settle in what is now Hamden, building on land purchased by his father Abraham in the 18th century&#39;s second quarter. His son built this house, most likely in 1795 after selling an older house it is sometimes confused with. It passed out of the family in 1835, and was used as a year-round residence until 1907. From 1924 to about 1961 it was used by the adjacent Sleeping Giant State Park as a seasonal staff residence. The historical society was given the house in 1961, with the understanding that it would be moved across the street as part of a road straightening project.</p><br>
<p>The house was heavily damaged by a tornado on May 15, 2018. Hamden Historical Society master carpenter Bob Zoni and his colleagues completed its restoration in July 2021, using period materials and building techniques.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Seymour Historic District encompasses most of the historic downtown of Seymour, Connecticut. Sandwiched between Connecticut Route 8 and the tracks of the former Naugatuck Railroad line, now the Waterbury Branch, it developed in the mid-19th century as a successful industrial center dominated by the production of brass goods. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now Seymour was originally part of Derby, and was separately incorporated in 1850. Its industrial and commercial history began in the late 18th century, when John Wooster and Bradford Steele established first a blacksmithy, and then fulling and carding mills at the falls of the Naugatuck River. In 1803, General David Humphreys purchased land and water rights nearby their mills, and established what is believed to be one of the oldest woolen mills in the nation, after bringing a flock of merino sheep over from Spain. Construction of the railroad through the area in the late 1840s brought further expansion, and development of the downtown area, which lasted into the 1920s. During this period, the industrial processing of copper and brass became one of its leading businesses.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is a roughly rectangular area, with a truncated northwest corner, 21 acre in size. It is set in a bend of the Naugatuck River, with CT 8 paralleling the bank west of the district, and the railroad cutting a straight north–south line to its east. There are only a few residences in the district, most of which are vernacular Queen Anne wood-frame structures built late in the 19th century. The oldest building in the district is believed to be the Trestle Tavern, a -story frame structure at 26-28 Main Street built about 1850. The southern end of the district is dominated by the former Waterman Pen complex, an industrial site with associations to the citys brass industry; most of its buildings date to the early 20th century. The towns major civic buildings (town hall, post office, and fire station) are just north of the industrial complex, and the rest of the district consists mainly of commercial buildings built mostly between 1880 and 1940.</p><br>

<p>The Lee County Courthouse is a Texas State Antiquities Landmark, is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The first Lee County Courthouse was built in 1878 in Second Empire style, but was destroyed by fire in 1897. The new courthouse, built in 1898, was designed by architect J. Riely Gordon in Richardsonian Romanesque style.</p><br>
<p>The Quitaque Railway Tunnel or Clarity Tunnel is a 582 ft abandoned railway tunnel in Floyd County, Texas about 10 mi southwest of Quitaque. Construction started in 1927, and the tunnel and associated railway line were completed and opened for use in 1930. The tunnel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and was designated a Texas State Antiquities Landmark in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Worth and Denver South Plains Railroad Company built the tunnel for its own use.</p><br>
<p>The line was abandoned in 1989. In 1993, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department acquired the abandoned right-of-way, and the tunnel is now part of Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway.</p><br>
<p>The Kirby–Hill House, at 210 Main St. in Kountze, Texas, was built in 1902. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is also a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<p>It is a Queen Anne-style house with Colonial Revival details.</p><br>
<p>The house occupies eight city lots, about 2.3 acre. Its most prominent feature is its two-story wraparound porch, which has</p><br>
<p>22 Tuscan columns on each level.</p><br>
<p>The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity House is a historic fraternity house in Moscow, Idaho. It was built in 1932 for the Idaho Alpha chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the University of Idaho. The house was designed by architect Charles I. Carpenter in the Colonial Revival style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 31, 1993.</p><br>
<p>The first chapter house of the Idaho Alpha chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was at 904 Deakin, the intersection of Deakin Street and College Avenue, close to the student union building. ZXA, a newly established local fraternity, rented the boarding house in 1916 after the Gamma Phi Beta sorority moved into its newly built chapter house across from the Administration Building Lawn where the music building is now. ZXA successfully petitioned the national Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for a charter in 1919. The first SAE chapter house capacity of approximately 20 men was expanded in a 1923 remodel but toward the end of the 1920s the SAE chapter had again outgrown the building.</p><br>
<p>The goal of the local ZXA fraternity and then the SAE chapter was to be the dominant fraternity at the University of Idaho. Carpenter chose the Colonial Revival building style for the SAE chapter house to maximize interior living space for the construction dollar.</p><br>
<p>The SAE chapter house is set diagonally on its large corner lot, facing the intersection of Deakin and Sweet streets. Because the lot drops considerably from front to rear, the full height of the basement is exposed at the rear and sides of the building but not on the facade. An asphalt driveway provides access for delivery vans and student parking at the rear. A narrower semicircular cement drive installed in the 1950s crosses the lot in front of the house. Today mature landscaping in the front includes shrubs, large spruce and birch trees. The front lawn is crossed by a concrete walkway leading from the intersection to the front door.</p><br>
<p>The large chapter house was rapidly built in months partly due to the ample inexpensive labor available in the Great Depression. Architectural plans were completed in early 1932, and construction began in the spring. Contractors completed the excavation and poured footings by late May, laid the brick walls during the next two months and finished the roof before the end of July. Workmen kept on schedule allowing fraternity members to move into their new quarters before the start of the new school year in September 1932.</p><br>
<p>The 150,000 bricks used to build the SAE chapter house were produced by the Moscow Fire Brick & Clay Products in kilns located on Sweet Avenue close to the North South Highway. This Moscow company also manufactured the bricks used in many of the downtown Moscow and University of Idaho buildings built in the 1920s to 1950s.</p><br>
<p>Newspaper articles reported that the fraternitys new chapter house costing $52,145 in 1932 dollars (about $990,000 in 2020 dollars) was the most expensive in the Pacific Northwest. The 1931 lot purchase and construction the next year was financed by alumni donations, cashed in life insurance policies, undergraduate SAEs gold panning profits, sale of the 904 chapter house and the purchase of a $10,000 bond with a 2 1/2 percent interest rate by Charles Bocock (Illinois Beta 1899) a SAE alumni brother who was the president of the Albion State Normal School in Albion, Idaho.</p><br>
<p>The new four story SAE chapter house designed for 45 men was a marvel of its day. Interior space was divided by function: food, recreation, service, storage in the basement; primarily social areas on the first floor; study and sleeping areas on the second and third floors. Four load bearing brick walls support the roof and the upper two floors are supported inside the walls by an independently standing steel frame box that was designed to facilitate future remodeling. Advanced 1932 amenities included two man study rooms with built in study desks, an electric kitchen range and an electric refrigerator. There was an electric fan to cool the kitchen and dining room on hot days.</p><br>
<p>The fully exposed basement contained the boiler and nearby coal storage room, kitchen, dining room, cooks apartment and house managers room. The basements most private space was reserved for the chapter room. During the 1960s and later there were three basement study rooms: Room 69 (previously the cooks apartment) the Hole (the house manager&#39;s room off of the dining room) and the Mole (a small two man room off of the chapter room).</p><br>
<p>From the front the second story of the chapter house is at ground level. The front facade features a symmetrical design whose primary focus is the recessed formal center entry. Two large social rooms, the informal room on the right and the formal room on the left, flank the entry hall and a center stairwell lines up with the large front door. In 1932 the "Boars Nest" (now called the library) was accessed through the "Stag Room" (now called the informal room) and the "Radio Room" (now called the presidents room) was accessed through the formal room. The "Radio Room" was where SAEs played ping pong and listened to music and football games on the chapter radio. For years a radio antenna was strung between the two brick chimneys to pick up radio signals. The formal room, informal room and library have brick fireplaces. At the rear of the first floor directly above the basement cooks apartment was the house mothers room which had a full bathroom and a fold down wall bed. During the 1930s and 1940s the house mother lived in the chapter house. Beginning in the 1950s the house mother&#39;s room was a facility for overnight guests such as SAE parents and served as a bathroom for dates during dances held in the chapter house.</p><br>
<p>The second and third floor bathroom and shower facilities were directly above the first floor house mother&#39;s room. The two upper floors held 14 study rooms which kept their original 1932 room numbers until the 2008 rebuilding project changed the floor layouts. Articles in the 1932 Sigma Alpha Epsilon Record magazine reported that there were five sleeping dormitories in the house: two on the second floor (pledge and sophomore sleeping porches) and three more on the third floor (two large and one small dormitories). Due to lessons learned in the 1917/1918 influenza epidemic the small dormitory was reserved as an infirmary. The University of Idaho student newspaper reported in 1932 that SAEs slept in new "double bunk beds with luxurious spring mattresses". Electric blankets to keep fraternity members warm during winter nights were not introduced to the open sleeping porches until the 1957/1958 school year.</p><br>
<p>Originally the long narrow space beneath the front entry was intended to be a bowling alley. The space soon began to be used to sight in hunting rifles for deer season and the name was changed to the "Shooting Gallery" to reflect this use. The two lions (aka "Phi" and "Alpha") on both sides of the front entry steps were donated in 1961 by Bill Currie (Idaho Alpha 1959). The lions were acquired from a vacated bank building in the San Francisco - Oakland area. The 1947 pledge class obtained the house bell from a closed school in the Moscow area. It was cast in 1892 in Michigan and a study room window leading out to the sophomore sleeping porch roof needed to be removed to move the bell onto the deck. The bell was cracked when it was rung all day in celebration of the 1954 football victory over Washington State.</p><br>
<p>At the beginning of the 1932 fall semester 41 SAEs moved into the new chapter house designed for 45 men. During the 1950s chapter house capacity was expanded to 62 men by adding three and four level bunk beds on the sleeping porches converting two third floor dormitories to study rooms and increasing the number of men in most study rooms. Minor building remodels were completed in 1968, 1978 and 1993 to refresh and update the building.</p><br>
<p>A structural engineering inspection in 2002 found that the basement dining room floor, the bathrooms and others areas of the 73-year-old building had deteriorated significantly. A successful alumni fundraising campaign led by Rich Allen (Idaho Alpha 1972) enabled reconstruction to begin early 2008. Greg Toolson (Idaho Alpha 1982) served as architect. The house corporation led by Bill McCann (Idaho Alpha 1966) and Gary Garnand (Idaho Alpha 1970) oversaw the 10 month $2.5 million construction project. Lori McCann (wife of Bill McCann and Order of Violets recipient) led the interior design effort. The reconstruction kept most of the basement and all of the first floor layout true to the 1932 architectural plans. Interior walls were taken down to the brick outside walls and then rebuilt. All heating, electrical and plumbing systems were replaced. The building was updated to current fire and access building code requirements. Interior chapter house area was increased to 13,638 square feet with capacity for 63 men. During 2013 three of the first floor study rooms were combined to create a house director apartment which reduced house capacity to 58 men plus the house director.</p><br>
<p>The Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter house on almost an acre of land was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 in recognition of its architectural significance. On a local level it is a good example of Colonial Revival architecture which was one of the two dominant styles applied to Greek chapter houses during the 1920s and 1930s. The 1993 National Register citation states that "after more than sixty year of continuous use as a fraternity residence the SAE house retains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association since construction in 1932".</p><br>
<p>Between 1932 and 2019 the 87 year old chapter house was a center of University of Idaho college memories for over 2,100 college men and women (1,700+ SAEs, 350+ Little Sisters of Minerva and 72 Violet Queens). The saplings planted in 1932 have grown into large mature trees just like the thousands of life long friendships that began at 920 Deakin in Moscow, Idaho. The SAE chapter house designed by Charles I. Carpenter has achieved its goal of creating a fraternity "feeling and association" that promoted strong fraternal bonds through communal dining and sleeping facilities. Idaho Alpha of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was recognized by the Interfraternity Council (IFC) and returned to the University of Idaho in 2022.</p><br>
